I was told the Viper IFV is an original design, different family from M113. Saw it in person too, it's huge.

Rawalpindi: Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa has said that Kartarpur Corridor is a step towards peace which our region needs.
Attending the Kartarpura Corridor ground-breaking ceremony, the Army Chief said “It’s a step towards peace which our region needs. Barbed wire at borders is measure by a sovereign state to check/deny illegal crossings."
"Corridors and Gates are for legal peaceful visitors. So is the case for all our neighbors”, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military's media wing quoted General Bajwa as saying.
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday performed the ground-breaking of the four kilometre-long Kartarpur Corridor.
He said Pakistan would provide facilities to the Sikh pilgrims."The next year you come here, you will find every kind of facilities," he said.
Khan lauded Navjot Singh Sidhu and said he was impressed by former cricketer's command of the Sufiana Kalam.
Imran Khan described the situation between India and Pakistan with a verse of Munir Niazi that goes "Kuch Sher de log vi Zalam san, Kuj Sanu marran da shoq vi Si".
He said both the countries cannot move forward without breaking the chains of past.
Khan cited examples of France and Germany who fought many wars. "If France and Germany can move forward, why can't we?"
He said all the political parties, government and the army in Pakistan were on same page.

Pakistan’s HIT unveils Viper IFV

Pakistani armour manufacturer Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) unveiled its latest infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), the Viper, at the IDEAS 2018 international defence exhibition, held in Karachi, Pakistan, between 27-30 November.
The Viper is based on a lengthened chassis derived from the M113 tracked armoured personnel carrier (APC) and has six road wheels on each side compared to the M113's five. Unlike the M113, the IFV is additionally protected by appliqué armour.
"The Viper weighs some 16 tonnes and is protected in accordance with Level IV STANAG 4569 [all-round protection against 14.5 mm armour-piercing bullets fired at a distance of 200 m]," a source from HTI told Jane's at IDEAS 2018.
The Viper has retained the internal layout of the M113 APC, with the powerpack mounted in the front right part of the hull. The vehicle transports up to 13 soldiers (including a crew of three) in anti-blast seats without neck protection. However, the hull lacks a spall liner or any additional anti-fragmentation protection for the crew and dismounts. The vehicle's troop compartment is fitted with an exit ramp.
The prototype of the Viper has been fitted with a modified Turra 30 remotely controlled weapon station (RCWS) armed with a Slovak-made Shipunov 2A42 30 mm automatic cannon, Kalashnikov PKT 7.62 mm medium machine gun (MG), two ready-to-use 9M113 Konkurs (AT-6 'Spandrel') anti-tank guided missiles and smoke dischargers. The Konkurs missiles and Kalashnikov MG, the source noted, were supplied by East European NATO member states.
The RCWS's sensor suite incorporates a daylight TV camera, infrared sight, and laser rangefinder. The commander's workstation can additionally be fitted with a panoramic sight.

Poongsan is gearing up.
POF still makes some of their arty ammo under joint venture arrangement. Interestingly, Poongsan ammo will be used by both India (K-9 Vajra) and Pak arty (M109xx) and other systems. Well played Poongsan
